I made these yesterday and we loved them. I used picking cucumbers because that is what I have in the garden. For a cute appetizer for a party I would cut the cucumbers in 1 inch chunks and use a melonballer to scoop a hole in the center. Fill with a couple of tablespoons filling, right before serving.
Cucumber BLT’s
3 slices crisp-cooked bacon, chopped
1/2 cup finely chopped lettuce
1/2 cup finely chopped baby spinach
1/4 cup diced tomato
1-1/2 tablespoons nonfat mayonnaise
Pinch salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1 large cucumber
Minced parsley or green onion (optional)
Combine bacon, lettuce, spinach, tomato and mayonnaise. Season with salt and pepper; set aside.
Peel cucumber. Trim off ends and slice in half lengthwise. Use spoon to scoop out seeds; discard seeds. Divide BLT mixture between cucumber halves, mounding in hollowed areas. Garnish with parsley. Cut into 2-inch pieces.
Note: Make these snacks when cucumbers are plentiful and large enough to easily hollow out with a spoon. You may make these up to 12 hours ahead of time and chill until serving.
